Rosary for the 2020 School Year
The themed rosary uses the same exact prayers as a traditional Rosary, but has prayer intentions for each Hail Mary prayer. You can follow the chart above which demonstrates which prayer is on which bead. All prayers used in the Rosary can be found by going to the "Themed Rosary" tab, and clicking on the button titled, "Rosary Prayers".
